Apart from reading the main /lit/ canon for well-roundedness, what reading suggestions does /lit/ have for songwriters? I think I saw a similar question a while back but it contained certain details which elicited mostly japery and memery, so hopefully I didn't say anything to trigger too many kys's.

Also, favorite musical settings of poems to switch it up from "favorite lyricists." I would pick Dictherliebe, which /mu/ might consider a pleb choice (just guessing), but that's cheating because I don't speak German. So in English it would probably be Songs of Travel by Ralph Vaugh Williams (pic related).

It doesn't matter who you read as a songwriter—first and foremost YOU just have to write so much that you develop your lyrical voice

Meanwhile just read ANYTHING and absorb ideas, possible allusions and lyrical ideas, etc
